Vinegar: Medicinal Uses and Antiglycemic Effect. Glyphosate_II_Samsel-Seneff(1).pdf. Dramatic Correlation Shown Between GMOs and 22 Diseases - NationofChange. There is a growing movement for labeling of GMO crops, and many would go further and ban GMOs completely.

Dramatic Correlation Shown Between GMOs and 22 Diseases - NationofChange

Currently there is a close vote in Oregon on a GMO labeling initiative, with advocates for labeling 0.3% behind and raising money to check ballots (we urge your support). Those who profit from GMOs spent $20 million to prevent labeling in Oregon. Several states in the Northeast have put in place laws that will require labeling. Vermont is about to be sued to prevent GMO labeling. GMO profiteers have an unusual marketing strategy. Millions have marched against Monsanto urging labeling or the banning of GMO products.

Truth about the Seralini rat-tumor-GMO study explodes. Jon Rappoport No More Fake News January 20th, 2014 Reader Views: 10,292 Remember a researcher named Gilles-Eric Seralini, his 2012 GMO study, and the controversy that swirled around it?

Truth about the Seralini rat-tumor-GMO study explodes

He fed rats GMOs, in the form of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready corn, and they developed tumors. Some died. The study was published in the journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology (wikipedia). Common Crop Pesticides Kill Honeybee Larvae in the Hive. Phys.org Four pesticides commonly used on crops to kill insects and fungi also kill honeybee larvae within their hives, according to Penn State and University of Florida researchers.

The team also found that N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)—an inert, or inactive, chemical commonly used as a pesticide additive—is highly toxic to honeybee larvae. “We found that four of the pesticides most commonly found in beehives kill bee larvae,” said Jim Frazier, professor of entomology, Penn State. “We also found that the negative effects of these pesticides are sometimes greater when the pesticides occur in combinations within the hive.

Since pesticide safety is judged almost entirely on adult honeybee sensitivity to individual pesticides and also does not consider mixtures of pesticides, the risk assessment process that the Environmental Protection Agency uses should be changed.” The team’s results are reported in the current issue of PLoS ONE.

In a short interview on Granada Television's current affairs programme World in Action Pusztai said that rats fed the potatoes had stunted growth and a repressed immune system.

Pusztai affair

This resulted in Pusztai and the Rowett Institute receiving numerous phone calls from government, industrial, NGO and media organisations. Following the media frenzy, Pusztai was suspended and misconduct procedures were used to seize his data and ban him from speaking publicly. His annual contract was not renewed. The Rowett Institute and the Royal Society reviewed Pusztai's work, concluding that the data did not support his conclusions. The data was published in the The Lancet in October 1999, and reported significant differences in the thickness of the gut epithelium of rats fed genetically modified potatoes (compared to those fed the control diet), but no differences in growth or immune system function were suggested.

Missing the Story on Golden Rice

Kai-Roberston-Food-Labeling-Study-2013. Leaked documents reveal US diplomats actually work for Monsanto. (NaturalNews) Biotech giant Monsanto has been genetically modifying the world's food supply and subsequently breeding environmental devastation for years, but leaked documents now reveal that Monsanto has also deeply infiltrated the United States government.

Leaked documents reveal US diplomats actually work for Monsanto

With leaked reports revealing how U.S. diplomats are actually working for Monsanto to push their agenda along with other key government officials, Monsanto's grasp on international politics has never been clearer. Institute for Responsible Technology - Before the FDA decided to allow GMOs into food without labeling, FDA scientists had repeatedly warned that GM foods can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects, including allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems.

They urged long-term safety studies, but were ignored. THE CAMPAIGN FOR HEALTHIER EATING IN AMERICA Our goal is to stop the genetic engineering of our food supply. Although the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may be one of the most dangerous health and environmental problems we face, it can be one of the easiest of the battles to win. The key is found in the tipping point, whereby a small number of individuals can move the market, forcing GMOs out of our nation’s food supply.Even a small percentage of shoppers avoiding genetically modified (GM) brands is enough to trigger an industry-wide cleanout. Farmers speak out: GMOs are a trap that Monsanto is using to take over agriculture.

(NaturalNews) Most Americans have no idea just how pervasive genetically-modified organisms (GMO) have become throughout the food supply.

Farmers speak out: GMOs are a trap that Monsanto is using to take over agriculture

Predatory marketing practices have lured many farmers into converting over to GMOs, and craftily-designed, proprietary growing systems have kept them there.
